White marble bust representing Medusa, in neoclassical style (19th century) This very fine white marble bust is a modern interpretation of the myth of Medusa, inspired by the canons of the 19th century and the neoclassical style. The sculpture intensely captures the beauty of this mythological figure, famous for her serpentine hair and her gaze that transforms into stone. The piece evokes the aesthetics of classical works preserved in prestigious museums, such as the bust of Medusa of Good Faith visible in the Capitoline Museum in Rome. The base is made of alabaster, emphasizing the timeless elegance of the work, while its balanced dimensions (height: 68 cm, width: 42 cm, depth: 33 cm) allow it to be harmoniously integrated into various spaces, whether it is a classic or very contemporary interior.
